"It is time to put an end to the great political crisis in the history of the country. At this time next week, if no new and unnecessary crises emerge, the major political crisis in the history of the state should and should end, and there will finally be a government in Israel.
A unity government that will be set up despite all the difficulties, after a major break in Israeli society that requires healing. Emergency government, facing over a million unemployed and medical danger still floating in the air and likely to return. "
On a future government sworn in next Wednesday, he said: "A government that has balances and brakes, respect for the rule of law, and our gatekeepers. A government that has criticism, not delegation. A government that works for consensus in Israeli society. A government that will promote all Israeli citizens and work for the independent , The fired and those who need us most now. "
He added: "It will not be my dream government, certainly not the expected size. It is probably not Netanyahu's dream government either. But in the end - unity is what the people of Israel want, unity is what the citizens of Israel need. And focus on the State of Israel. "
